I always thought there were good alternatives out there from other
cars, Volvo's with heated leather seats etc?

Got an old sofa here, any use?

dunno, for the disco. The other thing about it is it looks quite tricky to
get the seat off the runners. Not tried it, mind, as such. If you can get
the seat off the runners, then most other seats could be fitted, I suspect.
I've a lot of time for Sierra seats, meself; I daresay a set of them would
be quite nice in the disco, but I sold 'em with the 110. If I'd been
thinking, I'd have replaced the original 110 seats in it... still, plenty in
the breakers, innit.

Remind me to take the barbed wire nippleclamps to the next show you'll
be at...

I think you're confusing it with the Mercedes G-Wagen which has had
that complaint levelled against it many times, the Pinz has swing
axles pivoted in the middle of the chassis, extremely good axle
articulation and portal axles. It's a very serious piece of kit
indeed, although it's rotten for driving long distances, very noisy
transmission indeed and a low top speed.

If there's one thing it's much better than the landy at, it's
off-roading. You can't start whacking enormous wheels on it though
like you can with the landy and parts are expensive. I've seen a pinz
waltzing along a dried up river bed littered with very large boulders
though so there's not much need for it.

Well every vehicle has its place (except Hummers of course). My Limo was not
for offroading but it was certainly a damn site more comfortable for long
distance cruising.

101's are awesome vehicles and though I would like one, I think as an all
rounder a series or a defender cannot be beaten.

obviosly an upto date 4wd agricultural tractor will out perform anything off
road Hummers, Pinzgaurs, and Abrams tanks alike because of the low ground
pressure and huge wheels but a humble trail bike will still go where none of
them can
